hi,

for the past 2 days i have been working like crazy downloading the debian dvd-images (i386 architecture) to my laptop.. then i noticed that my laptop doesnt have a dvd-burner so i sent both the iso files to my better computer with a dvd-burner. ok. now, i open nero express 6 and click on "bootable dvd image". then when i try to add the dvd image to the list, it says "the file [iso file] is larger than 2 gb" and doesnt let me add the image to the list.

i heard that maybe its just nero.

what do i do?! i really dont to have to do the network install (which im downloading right now.. but another comp on the network is taking up all the bandwith so this is gonna take awhile......)

i already have the 4.5 and 4.1 GIGABYTE iso´s.. surely i didnt download all that in vain!!

pplzz help

thxx!!

Ok, don't make a bootable Nero image. Instead you just click File --> Burn Image to Disk. Then you put a blank DVD in your recorder, select the Debian ISO, and burn it. It's that simple.

If you need more help, LMK and I will post some screenshots for you.

Good luck,
-Nick

thx for the reply..

the thing is, my version of nero is stupid, theres no file/tools/options/help toolbar!!!

(Nero Express 6)

oh... nvm i gotcha. lol, u meant Windows Explorer "File" i guesss... if thats so, ill go try it out

thx

ummmm actually, which FILE menu did u mean?? the windows explorer file menu doesnt have "burn image to disk" and my nero file menu.. well i dont even have a file menu on my nero..

Can you use IM? Yahoo, MSN, or AIM.

alright its burning.. thx alot man u just proved cleared up a few hours of googling that i just did, lol.

now i just gotta deal with 1 more lil problem.. i accidentally (testing) recorded the .iso onto a data dvd.... soooo i hope that i can over write it... u think i can? or will i have to go out and buy another dvd?? (it´s a DVD-R)

Sorry to tell you, your blank DVD is a coaster now. If you have a Target in your area they have 25 packs of DVDs on sale for $8 right now. Not the absolute best price you can find if you really look, but it's fast, convenient, and still a pretty good deal.

lol thx for ur help nick

the thing is, i live overseas
so ill go out to the mall again and buy another dvd-r...

anyways, i got the first image onto my other dvd though, so i know wut to do know


once again, thx for all ur help!
